WIP "Rabbits After Rain". 1st layer down. One of several in progress in a series inspired by flowers I saw all around Andalusia this last April.

There will be a twist ending in the lighting, before I am done!

A year ago November -- a moment of Zen painting a heine, listening to Phillipe Sarde and telling myself the world was not necessarily going to change completely #appytimez

In which our heroine punches a hole through her painting while attaching hanging hardware -- 6 days before exhibition in an art fair -- and has a Learning Opportunity (how to repair it)(also, how to never repeat this mistake).

I love glazing over a grisaille layer. It reminds me of a quote, "color is magical, but it is not magic", I think by @art.pete.repeat on IG whose teachings I apply every day!

I've been listening to "The Lark Ascending" a lot while painting lately. Calming music for chaotic times.

"Space Formation I" is finished! I love the brushwork in this piece, and the colors really vibrate. They are floating in a constellation sans tin can but seem to be having fun!

Today in the Studio: ongoing adventures in my Flemish glazing experiment...which is going at glacier pace as the Damar varnish-medium mix used in Flemish glazing makes the layers take 6 weeks to dry.

But the colors are starting to pop!
